How Many OUSM Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $0.26 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 22,728 OUSM shares, about $1,129,809 at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $49.71. $1,000 a month takes about 45,455 shares, about $2,259,568. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

ALPS O'Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM) pays $0.022 a share monthly, $0.26 a year, a 0.53% run-rate yield at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $49.71. A special dividend of $0.222 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 117 distribution payments since 2017.

At today’s rate of $0.022 monthly and the last close of $49.71, this is what OUSM pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year

45,455 shares ($1,000/mo)$1,000.01$1,000.01$12,000.12

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 OUSM shares reinvest into 0.04 new shares each payment, about 0.5 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 2,260 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with OUSM’s own history in the OUSM DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 9, 2026, OUSM paid $0.97 a share and its share price went from $43.74 to $49.71, so total return covered every dollar paid.

OUSM Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

17/100Well below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • OUSM yields 0.53% today, at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $49.71.
  • Its own 10-year median is 1.85%, so today’s yield is well below its usual level.
  • No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 10-year history as it is.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.54% low3.42% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report

How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

When Is OUSM’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After October 2026

OUSM has not declared its next distribution yet. By its usual rhythm of about 28 days between ex-dates, the next ex-date falls around Nov 19, 2026, with the cash around Nov 23, 2026. An estimate, not a promise: only the declaration makes it final. The latest one, $0.022 a share, went ex on Oct 22, 2026 and paid Oct 26, 2026.

  • Ex-dates: about every 28 days (monthly)
  • Payment: usually about 4 days after the ex-date

Every payer going ex-dividend this week is on the dividend calendar.

How Often Does OUSM Pay?

OUSM pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 28 days, and the cash usually lands about 4 days later.

OUSM vs Similar Dividend Funds (PFM, EIS...)

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to OUSM in fund size, OUSM’s 0.53% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 1.41%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular distribution per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 9, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 6 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
